The Recent Interview with her

1. What made you want to be an actress?

I grew up in a family that encouraged art in every shape, way, and form. I always knew I was going to be an artist and I love performing.

2. Who were your idols growing up?

My grandparents.

3. Would you go overseas for a role in a film?

Getting paid to act and travel overseas-are you kidding? I would love to.

4. What was it like working on Down in the Valley (when it's going to be released)?

It was amazing working on "Down in the Valley". Edward Norton and Evan Rachel Wood are two of my favourite actors. Half the time I couldn't believe I was sitting right next to them. They were both really cool. While we were filming Ed stayed focused but once they got the shot we were all joking around, telling stories, talking about music, etc. David Jacobson is a great Writer/Director. This script is so unique and unpredictable...I can't wait to see it on the big screen. According to IMDB it's coming out Dec. 2005!

5. If you could work with any body who would it be?

There are so many, just to name a few...I would love to work with Tim Burton, The Coen Brothers, Gus Van Sant, Wes Anderson, Todd Solondz, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Brian Singer, Oliver Stone, Jean-Pierre Juenet

6. What have been some of your favourite roles to play?

In "Down in the Valley" I play Sherri- your typical rebellious teenager. I'm always smoking a joint and saying some wise-ass remark. But my favorite role to date is Caroline in the dark comedy feature "Forgiving the Franklins". Caroline is a close-minded southern cheerleader who has a problem with swearing, hates her family, and is always having hilarious one sided conversations with God. Needless to say, this was a bit more of a stretch for me.

7. What are some of your favourite movies?

I have an eclectic taste...Silence of the Lambs, The Labyrinth, Milagro Beanfield War, Shawshank Redemption, To Die For, Amelie, The Professional, Happiness, Raising Arizona, Return of the Living Dead, any of Buster Keaton's work

8. What movies you have seen lately you have really enjoyed?

Being There. It's an older movie but I just saw it- SO GOOD!

9. Who have you enjoyed working with?

James Karen, Alba Francesca, Ruth Manning, Zelda Rubenstein, Edward Norton, Evan Rachel Wood, David Jacobson, Jay Floyd...everyone I've ever worked with really

10. What kinda role would you most like to play?

I would love to play some kind of powerful magical being e.g. Cate Blanchett in Lord of the Rings

11. What are your thoughts on studio remaking movies?

Go ahead if you dare, it's so rare they actually succeed in making a better film. I think there are so many untold stories out there. I'd much rather see an original over a remake.

12. What is your favourite genre of movies?

I don't have one.

13. Who have you enjoyed working with the most?

Edward Norton

14. What were some of your favourite TV shows growing up?

Honestly...Jem, Salute Your Shorts, Unsolved Mysteries, Quantum Leap, Daria, SNL

15. What your view on realty TV? Good Or Bad?

Lame. Really lame.

16. What have you got lined up next?

I'm going to be on "Malcolm in the Middle" and I'm working on writing/directing my own project. It's sort of a really twisted version of Alice in Wonderland.

17. What's in your stereo at the moment?

Black Cat Music. They're a kick-ass indie band from Oakland. Check 'em out!

18. What are some of your favourite music artists/bands?

Black Cat Music, Pixies, Murder City Devils, The Atomiks, Bjork, BHP, DJ Shadow, Ottis Redding, Zap Mama, Portishead, Iggy Pop, Beck, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Jawbreaker, old Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Joni Mitchell...........

19. What do you enjoy doing when not acting?

Hearing live music, dancing, hiking, eating out (I love food!), travel

20. When will we see Forgiving the Franklins come out?

This next year

Thanks for your time any last words

it's really cool that you have this e-zine letting people know about all that is not mainstream. I'd love to be on your list. Thanks for the interview!
